Based on the author's boyhood memories of the five years his family lived in Corfu, it is written with fantastic wit and humour. It's a book to read more than once and listening to it on Audible is also an excellent choice. Prepare to meet memorable characters and interesting creatures. Explore Corfu with Gerry Durrel, his mother, brothers, sister and their wonderful Dog, Roger. I absolutely love this Book and highly recommend it. Review: Excellent book by Gerald Durrel, but very different from the TV series if you were expecting that - If you watched the Durrels in Corfu on streaming media, the series was very entertaining. This book is very good too, although this book is more focused from Gerald Durrel's point of view as an adult. The book is excellent and greatly detailed. I won't complain, but I learned more about birds and insects than I ever knew. I found myself doing frequent google searches to figure out what certain terms and phrases meant. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #165,402 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #22 in Environmentalist & Naturalist Biographies #91 in Traveler & Explorer Biographies #464 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 8,706 Reviews | ## Images ![My Family and Other Animals (Macmillan Collector's Library) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813iLujutRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Funny, heartwarming and captivating. *by A***R on October 7, 2025* My Family and Other Animals is one of my all time favorite books.

I could vividly remember some scenes but couldn't for the life of me remember the text's title. I rediscovered it thanks to a "hilarious books" thread at a forum I'm a part of, and am so glad to have finally found it! This book should be required reading for every little kid who loves animals -- and what kid doesn't? The narrator moves to a (beautifully described) villa in Greece and lives an idyllic existence there, collecting a real menagerie of pets as he does so -- and his adventures obtaining/living with those pets are as funny as they are charming. His interactions with his family members are just as hilarious (I love in particular his prissy older sister, and his perpetually sniffling mother). Re-reading this as an adult, I have come to appreciate the author's skill as a writer -- this book made me want to visit Greece and find my own little cove with hot pebbles for a beach and a brilliantly blue sea. Sigh. Also, I want a praying mantis. This book is going on my "Dearly Beloved" collection in my Kindle. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/31213482-my-family-and-other-animals-macmillan-collectors-library](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/31213482-my-family-and-other-animals-macmillan-collectors-library) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
